Book Log 2017 #24: The Girl from Venice by Martin Cruz Smith
A fisherman in World War II-era Venice comes across a body in the lagoon, a young woman who is alive - barely. He pulls her into his boat and takes her back to his shack, where he brings her back to health, only to learn that she's a daughter of a wealthy Jewish family on the run from the Germans. Can the fisherman protect the girl while riding out the end of the war?
I did like this quite a bit, especially as a change of pace from the Arkady Renko series of stories.
